swordfish market and to project changes to 1995. To understand how the
discovery of mercury contamination affected the swordfish market, historical
trends are examined from 1965 to 1985. Using this time period, a regression
model is used to estimate the demand for swordfish. The model incorporates a
feature that allows the mercury discovery to affect the demand for swordfish
in the year that it was discovered and subsequent years. However, as time
progresses, the model allows the impact of the mercury discovery to lessen as
consumers forget. Thus, the model is used to make projections in a period
where mercury levels are no longer perceived as a factor in swordfish demand.

Extension Network. Draft Proposal, University of Maryland, College

This project seeks to create a national network of Sea Grant, NOAA, and
other economists to strengthen and improve the use of environmental economics
information in coastal resource management decisions at the regional and local
level, ensuring that management actions result in the greatest net benefit to
society from its coastal resources.

Seafood Trade Policy." Marine Fisheries Review, 51(1):11-14.
This paper explores the practicality and desirability of the NMFS trade
objective to increase exports and domestic consumption of U.S. fishery
products that would lead to a reduction in the $6.3 billion fishery trade
deficit that existed in 1986.

Property on the Optimal Structure of the Fishing Industry."
Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 16:45-51.
This paper extends previous fisheries models by generalizing the
necessary and sufficient conditions under which coexistence of specialized and
generalized vessels occurs in a multispecies fishery. Economies of scope and
demand conditions are argued to dictate coexistence. Inefficiency in market
structure is also shown to arise with an inappropriate property rights regime.

Regulations on Fishing Industry Cost and Structure: The Surf Clam
Industry." American Agricultural Economics Association,
(February):197-208.
Fishing costs are dependent on the size of the fish stock and
regulations. Changes in these factors alter the equilibrium industry
structure. In a multiproduct fishery, it is not possible to generalize how a
reduction in industry catch will be accomplished, through a reduction in catch
per vessel or in the number of vessels. Multiproduct cost functions are
estimated for the Atlantic clam fishery. Simulations reveal that optimal
